A Bauhaus-inspired seven-passenger car with monthly subscription? You guys know, we are in
California, right? We’ll see about that, but it’s already worth having a
dispute about and see how it is imagined. I think the “Bauhaus-inspired”
attribute is slightly too much, but we can get past that; they say it means
that they tried to get rid of everything that does not have a function and
solve everything in the simplest possible way. In terms of interior, it rather
makes me think of the cars in the classic sci-fis of the 70s and the 80s,
which, by the way, I have no problem with.

According to the
description, the vehicle can do approx. 400 kilometers with a full tank, and is
charged to 80% within half an hour, which does not sound bad at all. Neither does the rental
scheme. If we look at MOL Limo or other similar car sharing services as well as
other car-related and global trends, it becomes quite obvious that these
options are both viable and useful.

If the BMW I3 popped into your mind that is no
coincidence, rather the work of Richard Kim, who designed both models, which
can be seen from many features: the large homogenous internal surfaces or the
surprisingly huge interior compartment.

I will let you make the judgment in terms of aesthetics – I like it, but let’s be careful with all the electronic, sharing and self-drive car concepts, because some of them will never be what we expected them to be.
